Soojin Chang is a California-born, Glasgow-based performance artist and filmmaker.[1][2]

Notable works include the animated visuals provided for Brooklyn-based musician Shilpa Ray’s track “Burning Bride[3] and the State of Possession – Performance at the ICA in London which provided support for the band These New Puritans.[4][5]

Chang is known for their use of shock tactics and taboo involving nudity, ethnography and violence in their works. Chang’s Jerwood Survey commission, ‘BXBY’ caused institutional unrest and was censored by Leeds Art Gallery, due to its ‘sensitive content, including documentation of a deer being culled and images of cervical self-experimentation done at the artist’s home.'
